Kate Winslet: No More Nudity, Taking A Break

February 20th, 2009

Kate Winselt reveals in a new interview that she won’t be getting her “kit off” for any future movie roles and has decided to take a short break from Hollywood.

“I come from a long line of real cart horses,” the 33-year-old tells Time magazine.  “Very stoic, insides-made-of-iron people. So I can take any sh*t you can fling at me. I can cope with any workload. I can deal with lack of sleep. I can multitask like you’ve no idea. But two weeks ago, I actually had a panic attack.  My first one.

She continues, “I didn’t know what it was! It was a little like when your water [breaks], and you think, Did I just pee a bit, or is this it? I called my sister and said, ‘I can’t breathe, and I feel like I’ve got a brick on my chest and I’m seeing funny, and it sounds like everyone’s talking to me in Hebrew.’ She said, ‘Yeah, that’s a panic attack.’”

Following back-to-back filming schedules over the past few years, Winslet has decided she wants to spend some time at home, but adds, “I know how long it’s going to be before I feel, O.K., I really have to know what I’m doing next, or I’ll freak out! I know myself, and it’s only a matter of time.”

As for the nudity, Winslet reveals that she’s taking that out of her repertoire after baring all in ‘The Reader’ saying, “I think I won’t do it again: a) I can’t keep getting away with it, and b) I don’t want to become ‘that actress who always gets her kit off.’”
